Schiff: I have 'grave concerns' over Nunes's surveillance claim

Source: MSN/The Hill

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that he has "grave concerns" over Chairman Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) handling of the Trump Tower wiretapping investigation.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) criticized Nunes for his surprise announcement earlier in the day that he had seen intelligence intercepts that showed authorities had incidentally gathered information on members of the Trump transition team during investigations that the chairman said were not related to Russia.

Nunes made the announcement at a press conference, saying the information had been "widely disseminated" in an implicit criticism of intelligence community officials.

He then briefed the White House about his findings and appeared on CNN - without talking to Schiff, who knocked the chairman for not sharing the information.

It sure seems like he panicked. What an odd sequence of events to read the documents (by himself?), talk with the press, and then run to the WH.

I did not know Paul Ryan was in the odd sequence. Was the press briefing before or after Paul Ryan?

of Nunes having to slink back to his family dairy operation where the worst he can do to us is rake in Govt. Subsidies. Of course, the real ICING on that cake would be him doing a little time for his giving Trump time to devise his "story" and dispatch with damning evidence. Maybe Cheney can advise how to have a fire in Trump's files!

Pretty much par for the course if you're a Republican, though.
